She was my English and Drama teachers at Spring High School in the late 60's.    A very good teacher that I enjoyed studying under.   Blessings to her family.  


My heart aches to learn of Janie's passing.  We were friends in college, and I have been trying to find her again.  We have wonderful memories of Janie.  She was a good friend to me and others.  We will miss her.

The world is a better place for having had Janie Strader in it. She was a wonderful teacher and a wonderful person. She will be greatly missed!

Ms. Strader wasn't "easy," but she was serious in her teaching.  I always thought the world of her, and am so very grateful for what I've learned from her, at North Houston.  Thanks to her, I skipped out on Freshman English, in college, and was placed Sophomore level.  Not sure that was a treat, for me, but said a little about the training.  I pray for the family.  Arlen, your mother will be missed by many.

There was not a better teacher than Janie, my children are very blessed to have been in her class.      Betty Moran Ott ( Magnolia Texas)

Heavenly Father, now that Janie's work in this world is done, grant her safe  lodging with You, a holy rest, and peace at the last.  In Your Son's name, Amen.  *Miss you, miss you, miss you, Janie.*

I always remember Janie as one of my BEST teachers in High School. I'll never forget her love in taking me out to buy an expensive (to me, at least) graduation dress because she knew I couldn't buy one and all the other girls would have them. She loved her Lord and she loved her students!

I met Janie 20years ago last month on our first day of teaching together at Eisenhower HS. She was such a kind and giving friend and educator. She always lived her love for God. May He be with her family at this time.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

 So sorry for your loss. She will be missed by many. Wish I could be there but just too far and previous engagements made. Such fond memories of her.

We first met Janie when we stayed at her house in 2009 (we could say as complete strangers--but we don't think Janie ever met a stranger!).  She made us feel completely welcome during that week, and then when we stayed with her again for another few days a month later, as we prepared to move to Texas.  We only knew her for the year we were there, but what a blessing she was to us!!!!  We'll miss her sparkle (which we kept up with on Facebook)!  We're praying for the family and friends who are there now.

Mrs. Strader was the single, most influential teacher in my life. She had such a passion for English Literature & because of her, so do I. She used to pull me aside & encourage me at times that I didn't realize it was needed. She always believed in me & she made me believe in myself. I'm a recruiter in the education field today & have a passion for students, due in great part, because of what she taught me. I have fond memories of her chomping on ice while we were taking a test & working on yearbook projects with her. I loved theme days at school when she would dress crazy. She was all in! She had a wonderful spirit, even when she was stern with us. What a great legacy she leaves behind of educators & leaders, all because of her influence on students lives. Her loss saddens me but there's one thing I'm sure of......Janie Strader is now sheltered in the arms of God. See you on the other side, Mrs Strader. Thank you for all you've meant to my life. I wish I would've told you more while you were here.

Janie and I shared over 25 years together as educators at Eisenhower High School. I missed her after her retirement; I miss her even more today. But I am certain that the Lord has a special place for teachers, and Janie is right at home with Him now.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

our prayers are with you, Please accept our sympathy

My prayers are with you and your family.  I am sorry for your loss.

I'm praying the Lord will carry you through this time of need.  In deepest sympathy.

May Janie's smile be a reminder of her sure hope in the everlasting arms of Jesus. We will miss you but delight in your faith in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.
